Bright fifth-floor living with Thames views makes this one-bedroom flat a practical city base for a first-time buyer. The reception room opens onto a spacious balcony, bringing natural light and a strong sense of space to an otherwise average-sized 561 sq ft home. The separate modern integrated kitchen and sleek bathroom are move-in ready.
Set within a secure riverside development, the building offers concierge, lifts and easy access to Vauxhall transport links — ideal for commuters. The long lease (973 years) and low ground rent are significant ownership advantages, while the building’s popularity and riverside address support lettability for future flexibility.
Be aware of higher-than-average service charges (£4,407 p.a.) and electric room heating, which can increase running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The local area is inner-city cosmopolitan with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and many nearby amenities, but recorded crime levels are high; factor this into travel and security plans.
This flat suits buyers seeking a convenient London base, strong transport connections and riverside views, and those willing to accept higher service costs and electric heating for location and convenience.
